On one side you have people that feel like it was a waste of time and useless to have a transgender character just to have a transgender, then you have the people who feel like they didn't represent transgender characters properly.
oh course they have a transgender just to have one (they didnt want to get called out again by the lbgt community for non inclusion), but what did people what them to do with the character? make her the main character? make a huge deal out of it?...bioware treated her like any other npc in the game...hell, they treated her better: they gave her a bunch of lines, a backstory, and made her the point of contact for a side mission.....
see, that's the shyt i dont understand/get: people in that community will say they want to be treated like everyone else; yet when you do, they then get upset people arent making a bigger deal out of it....see, people just looking for reasons to complain/be upset about....
anyway, all this lets me know is next game one of the romance options will be a transgender person and/or they will make a squadmate transgender.....that is how bioware tends to respond...just look at this game: they made everyone damn near gay/bi-sexual in response to the complaints from the lbgt community last time....
